Well, this, I didn't expect.

The Democrats managed to find a crazed-lefty constitutional law professor from Stanford to testify before the House Judiciary Committee to buttress the case for impeaching President Trump.

Trump Considering Sending 14,000 More Troops to the Middle East

The Trump administration is considering a significant expansion of the U.S. military footprint in the Middle East, including dozens more ships, other military hardware and as many as 14,000 additional troops to counter Iran, U.S. officials said, according to The Wall Street Journal.

President Trump is expected to make a decision on the new deployments as soon as this month, those officials said, the Journal reports.

There is growing fear among U.S. military and other administration officials that an attack on U.S. interests and forces could leave the U.S. with few options in the region, officials said, notes WSJ.

Go Rudy, Go!

Rudy Giuliani

And it gets better.

New DiLorenzo Book Coming on Lincoln

In a new essay up at LewRockwell.com, Trump vs. Lincoln: What’s a Republican to Think?, Tom DiLorenzo mentions in passing:

Having researched and written about Lincoln, his war, his statist economic policies, and his demolition of civil liberties over the past twenty years (my next Lincoln book will be published by Regnery in June), I have learned that all the typical American over the age of 35 knows about him is the few slogans that Americans are all taught in grade school – that he supposedly “freed the slaves with a stroke of a pen” and “saved the union,” both of which are undeniably false.  The under-35 population knows even less... The degree of delusion about Lincoln is orders of magnitude greater today than it was then [1943], thanks to the ongoing efforts of the court historians of the Lincoln cult.

Can't wait.

From the book's blurb:

Democratic Party Presidential Candidates and White Supremacy

Kamala Harris

Kamala Harris has dropped out of the Democratic Party presidential race and this is somehow supposed to prove that white supremacy exists in the Democratic Party/America.

Actually, I think he acts more like a fool when he claims he is going to pay everyone $1,000 per month.

Jared Kushner's Plan to Seize Massive Amounts of Private Property in Texas

The son-in-law

President Donald Trump has made his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, the de facto project manager for constructing the US-Mexican border wall.

The project is now a Kushner priority, along with his solving the Middle East conflict.

There is one big problem, however, with his wall project.

This is—for the first time—the full and unedited story behind the sick life and mysterious death of Jeffrey Epstein that is being called one of the most significant scandals in American history
 
He was the billionaire financier and close confidant of presidents, prime ministers, movie stars and British royalty, the mysterious self-made man who rose from blue-collar Brooklyn to the heights of luxury.

Just days before the Inspector General's report on the Justice Department's surveillance of Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign is expected to drop, former FBI lawyer  Lisa Page gave her first interview to the Page-friendly Daily Beast reporter Molly Jong-Fast.

I am not sure that even Trump fanboys are going to be able to handle this hagiography.

Why Are College Students So Afraid of Me?

By Heather Mac Donald

Few things upset American college students more than being told they aren’t oppressed. I recently spoke at the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Mass. I argued that American undergraduates are among the most privileged individuals in history by virtue of their unfettered access to knowledge. Far from being discriminated against, students are surrounded by well-meaning faculty who want all of them to succeed.

About 15 minutes into my talk,

"The Anti-Democratic Views of Murray Rothbard"

Tyler Cowen announces a book coming by David M. Levy and Sandra J. Peart,  Towards an Economics of Natural Equals: A Documentary History of the Early Virginia School.

From Cowen:

This is the true history, told by people who know, and with extensive citations from correspondence and primary documentation.

The PPS in Action: Comedian Asks Fans to Sign $1 Million Non-Disclosure Agreement Before Comedy Show

Pete Davidson

This is just awesome.

Variety reports:

Whatever you do, never tweet at a Pete Davidson comedy show. The “Saturday Night Live” cast member has recently been doling out non-disclosure agreements before each of his recent comedy shows.

Most recently, fans attending Davidson’s standup at the Sydney Goldstein Theater were asked to sign a lengthy contract that forbade them from tweeting or instagramming any opinions about the performance.

I Present to You the Democratic Front Runner

What’s Joe talking about here? 😳 pic.twitter.com/6YtuBKbJXq

Note: This is not all bad. There are no candidates that are leaning in the direction of shrinking government. So I prefer the candidate that would be least effective in rallying the masses in the direction of more government intervention.

Joe looks like the winner here.

Yes, the permanent apparatus of the state will continue to operate but that will happen under any president. At least with Joe, we won't have a "great" leader that everyone will follow.

Propagandists Want to Rebrand 'Climate Change' For Greater Shock Value: 'Climate Collapse'

Climate change alarmists are pushing for a change in vocabulary to scare people into taking global warming more seriously, starting with terms like “global meltdown,”“climate collapse,”  and "scorched earth," reports Breitbart.

Writing for AdAge, Aaron Hall argues that in order to get people to “take action” against climate change, “rebranding” is crucial, since people have gotten too used to the idea that climate is changing and need to be shocked into the notion that the world as we know it is ending.

As per usual with the shady Left, truth will not be an obstacle.

Historian Rips Apart New York Times Reporting on Slavery

At the post, Civil War Scholar Rips Apart New York Times Reporting on Slavery, I report on the interview The World Socialist Web conducted with James M. McPherson about the problems he had with the recent New York Times’ "1619 Project." 

WSW has followed up that interview up with an interview of Gordon Wood, professor emeritus at Brown University and Pulitzer Prize-winning author.

Here are key snippets:

Q. Let me begin by asking you your initial reaction to the 1619 Project. When did you learn about it?
